Shawn Clement

In his relatively short career, composer Shawn Clement's trajectory has been fueled by undeniable talent, striking musicality and pure instincts. His dark orchestral sensibilities have created the picture-perfect underscore for over 120 feature film, television and video game projects. Clement's music has permeated broadcast television on such top-rated network reality shows as World's Wildest Police Videos, World's Scariest Police Chases (1-9), Surviving The Moment of Impact (2-4), Stupid Behavior: Caught on Tape and When Good Pets Go Bad 1 & 2 (all for Fox Television); plus The World's Most Amazing Videos (NBC), The World's Most... series for Discovery Communications, and on ABC - TV Guide's Greatest Moments 2003, The World's Scariest Ghosts and Are You Hot?

Shawn was the hot composer in the emerging reality television market before anyone realized that "Reality" was hot, and he is now credited with establishing the definitive dramatic musical style of the reality genre. Recognizing his success, ASCAP presented Clement with the film and television award for Most Performed Underscore in 2000.

He has scored films ( We Married Margo, Last Chance , Bad Girls From Valley High ), network series ( Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Guiding Light, Married...with Children, As the World Turns) and video games ( Donald Duck: Going Quackers, Batman: Vengeance, and its sequel Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu ). Some of the most recent additions to Clement's resume are CBS's pilot The Papdits, Disney's Kim Possible: What's the Switch? video game, and the independent horror film June Cabin.

Additional projects include the Open Season video game, Most Shocking, and the IMAX animated feature 2004: A Light Knight's Odyssey, starring John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Christian Slater and Sarah Michelle Gellar.
